"The hotel is very modern and located close to Amsterdam Central train station. A short walk less than 10 minutes. It is located in the north of the city so it isn't right in the heart. For me this wasn't a problem and all of that is still reasonably close on foot.

Colorful jugglers and fireblowers offer plenty to keep you entertained.

No Amsterdam visit would be complete without a leisurely boat ride down one of the trickling canals that make up 'The Canal Loop' and snakes between the streets, like the Keizergracht or the Prinsengracht. The world-famous Anne Frank House, steeped in Amsterdam's recent history and heart-wrenching tragedy is also an absolute must for history buffs, while Rembrandt House is an intriguing insight into the mind of an artistic genius.
